Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
TOTAL PERFORMANCE
Combines award winning router features and 802.11n wireless technology to provide the best wireless performance.
TOTAL SECURITY
The most complete set of security features including Active Firewall and WPA2™ to protect your network against outside intruders.
TOTAL COVERAGE
Provides greater wireless signal rates even at farther distances for excellent coverage throughout the whole home.
ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE
The D-Link Wireless N Gigabit Router (DIR-655) is a 802.11n compliant device that delivers real world performance of up to 650% faster than an
802.11g wireless connection (also faster than a 100Mbps wired Ethernet connection). Create a secure wireless network to share photos, les, music,
video, printers, and network storage throughout your home. Connect the Wireless N Gigabit Router to a cable or DSL modem and share your highspeed Internet access with everyone on the network. In addition, this router includes a Quality of Service (QoS) engine that keeps digital phone
calls (VoIP) and online gaming smooth and responsive, providing a better Internet experience.
EXTENDED WHOLE HOME COVERAGE
Powered by Wireless N technology, this high performance router provides superior home coverage while reducing dead spots. The Wireless N Gigabit
Router is designed for use in bigger homes and for users who demand higher performance networking. Add a Wireless N notebook or desktop
adapter and stay connected to your network from virtually anywhere in your home.
TOTAL NETWORK SECURITY
The Wireless N Gigabit Router supports all of the latest wireless security features to prevent unauthorized access, be it from over the wireless network
or from the Internet. Support for WPA standards ensure that you’ll be able to use the best possible encryption method, regardless of your client
devices. In addition, this Wireless N Gigabit Router utilizes dual active rewalls (SPI and NAT) to prevent potential attacks from across the Internet.
* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g and 802.11n specications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors,
including volume of network trac, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental conditions will adversely
aect wireless signal range.
3D-Link DIR-655 User Manual
Section 1 - Product Overview
• Faster Wireless Networking - The DIR-655 provides up to 300 Mbps* wireless connection with other 802.11n wireless clients. This
capability allows users to participate in real-time activities online, such as video streaming, online gaming, and real-time audio. The
performance of this 802.11n wireless router gives you the freedom of wireless networking at speeds 650% faster than 802.11g.
• Compatible with 802.11g Devices - The DIR-655 is still fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11g standard, so it can connect with
existing 802.11g PCI, USB and CardBus adapters.
• Advanced Firewall Features - The web-based user interface displays a number of advanced network management features
including:
• Content Filtering - Easily applied content ltering based on MAC address, URL, and/or domain name.
• Filter Scheduling - These lters can be scheduled to be active on certain days or for a duration of hours or minutes.
Features
• Secure Multiple/Concurrent Sessions - The DIR-655 can pass through VPN sessions. It supports multiple and
concurrent IPSec and PPTP sessions, so users behind the DIR-655 can securely access corporate networks.
• User-friendly Setup Wizard - Through its easy-to-use web-based user interface, the DIR-655 lets you control what information is
accessible to those on the wireless network, whether from the Internet or from your company’s server. Congure your router to
your specic settings within minutes.

Section 2 - Installation
Installation
This section will walk you through the installation process. Placement of the router is very important. Do not place the router in an enclosed area
such as a closet, cabinet, or in the attic or garage.
Before you Begin
Please congure the router with the computer that was last connected directly to your modem. Also, you can only use the Ethernet port on your
modem. If you were using the USB connection before using the router, then you must turn o your modem, disconnect the USB cable and connect
an Ethernet cable to the Internet port on the router, and then turn the modem back on. In some cases, you may need to call your ISP to change
connection types (USB to Ethernet).
If you have DSL and are connecting via PPPoE, make sure you disable or uninstall any PPPoE software such as WinPoET, BroadJump, or
EnterNet 300 from your computer or you will not be able to connect to the Internet.

Section 2 - Installation
Wireless Installation Considerations
The D-Link wireless router lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the operating range of your
wireless network. Keep in mind that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass
through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or
business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link router and other network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling
can reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is
minimized.
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be
almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2 degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position devices so that the signal will
travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.
3. Building materials make a dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect on range. Try to position
access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways. Materials and objects
such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (sh tanks), mirrors, le cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your
wireless signal.
4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.
5. If you are using 2.4 GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and home security systems), your
wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4 GHz phone base is as far away from your
wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone in not in use.
